Team in Review - Delhi Daredevils

Owner - GMR Holdings

Coach - Gregory Shipperd

Captain - Virender Sehwag

CEO - Yogesh Shetty

Ambassador - Akshay Kumar

Colors - Black and Red

Den - Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, New Delhi

+es...
Sehwag and Gambhir at top are sure to give opponents couple of sleepless nights.. They share some excellent chemistry from their Delhi days..
The team probably has the best line up of local players up their sleeve with talents like, Shikhar Dhawan, Pradeep Sangwan, Amit Mishra, Mithun Manhas in the ranks..
With de Villiers, Dilshan, Gambhir, Vettori, Manoj Tiwary, Shoaib Malik in field expect some half catch and run out chances being converted..


-es...
With McGrath aging and Asif and Maharoof yet to prove their fitness, the fast bowling department doesn't look all that healthy..
Departure of Vettori to England after just two weeks of action could create a head ache in controlling run flow in post power play overs..
With only Sehwag amongst the Indian players with big international experience the team could bow in pressure situations..

Why follow them...
On their day the double triple ton man, Viru and the miserly, nagging Glenn "Pigeon" McGrath are enough to take the match their own way..

Look out for...
Gautam Gambhir - Man of the match at T20 World Championship finals, a silent killer is set and geared for the challenge and could well be the nagging thorn for opponents..
Yo Mahesh - He has shown glimpses of his all round skills at the domestic level.. It might well be his turn to strike big now..

Probable Starters...
Virender Sehwag
Gautam Gambhir
AB de Villiers/ Tillakratne Dilshan
Manoj Tiwary
Shoaib Malik
Mithun Manhas
Dinesh Karthik
Daniel Vettori/ Mohammad Asif
